At the workshop, Deputy Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs Nguyen Ba Hoan summarized that sending Vietnamese workers to work abroad is a major policy of the Vietnamese Government to develop human resources, solve employment, create income and improve skills for workers and strengthen international cooperation between Vietnam and other countries in the world.
As of October 2024, Vietnam's population reached 99.67 million people, of which the labor force aged 15 and over was 52.5 million people, accounting for 52.8% of the population.
In recent years, on average, Vietnam has sent about 150,000 workers to work abroad each year, and currently there are about 700,000 Vietnamese workers working in 40 countries and territories, with more than 30 different occupational groups.
"Europe has always been considered a key market, with a need to receive a large number of foreign workers, including Vietnamese workers. Vietnamese workers have initially created prestige and a brand in the international labor market," Deputy Minister Nguyen Ba Hoan emphasized.

Vietnam and the European Union countries have friendly relations and active, increasingly deep, effective and comprehensive cooperation, including in the field of labor cooperation. This cooperation brings great benefits to each country.
European Union countries need to supplement human resources to compensate for the shortage of labor force due to aging population. Vietnam is a country with a young population, needs to solve employment, vocational skills training, and industrial working style.
Participating in the workshop, embassies of European countries in Hanoi unanimously confirmed that this market has a great demand for receiving skilled Vietnamese workers, is ready to support human resource training to ensure the quality of supply, has a stable salary policy and many favorable labor policies.
